All day yesterday was spent looking for events to go to while in South Africa ... i found a lot of cool stuff to do :) was kinda hoping to find a concert or something with some local flavour but that i am sure will pop up without notice . I looked for any big concerts in Cape Town , doesn't seem to be a concert hub like Toronto with big shows almost nightly here ... maybe i was looking on the wrong sites but they all seem to have the same info . Regardless going to a concert is not tops on the list . I am more of a sports kinda guy , so i was looking for something unique and i came across Super League Rugby which pits teams from South Africa,New Zealand and Australia ... check it out ! http://www.superxv.com/tickets/ i found a game in Johannesburg on July 4th at Ellis Park between the Lions vs. Rebels . Having never been to a rugby match this should be a good event ... and our host Gary is a huge rugby fan too so even better to learn more about the game and the rivalries :)
As i was searching there were UFC events on all day yesterday ... my girlfriend LOVES watching mixed martial arts :) so do i ! we try to watch most of the fights together , i know its cute eh LOL . So i decided to google African MMA and i came up with this .... http://www.efcafrica.com/ , i checked their schedule and wouldn't you know it there is a fight card happening on July 3rd in Johannesburg also . Do i have to even think about this ? i just need to wait until tomorrow to see if i am booking 2 or 3 tickets ... Johannesburg is gonna be one hell of a good time drinking , watching fights and rugby and getting on the ice at some point too HA this is gonna be sick !
At this point i am really not sure how long we are hanging in Johannesburg as we are planning a trip out to Durban , hopefully seeing all 5 rink across the country if possible . All i know is i have to be in Johannesburg on July 9th to fly to Barcelona after this and from the sounds of it , this will be a sad day ... yeah i hate leaving these awesome countries and i have a great feeling that South Africa is gonna be more then just fun . In the first week there i am probably going to an overnight safari , a rugby match and an mma card along with making friends drinking beers and playing some puck ! wow . remind me why more people don't do this ? its crazy isn't it . if you are reading this and you have never experienced a true sporting vacation like this then do yourself a favour ... go do it !!! And if you need any help or advice , don't be shy to ask me :)
i should get back to researching things to do in South Africa ....
